Liverpool face Chelsea clash in League Cup semis

London: Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insists he is relishing the prospect of facing Chelsea in the League Cup semi-finals.

Rodgers` side moved into the last four with a much-needed 3-1 win at Championship side Bournemouth on Wednesday and they were paired with Chelsea in the last four draw just minutes after the final whistle at Dean Court.

Taking on Chelsea will bring back bad memories for Rodgers after Liverpool famously blew their chance to win the Premier League title with a 2-0 home defeat, featuring Steven Gerrard`s famous slip that led to Demba Ba`s goal, at Anfield last season.

Jose Mourinho`s team, currently top of the Premier League, also won 2-1 at Anfield this season, but Rodgers, who has been under pressure after Liverpool`s poor showing this season, is confident his side can make amends with a place in the Wembley final at stake in the two-legged tie in January.
